Power BI desktop trial
Hi users
I am a self employed contractor analyst and I am trying to upskill myself on Power BI for future roles - however, the 60 day trial is only with a work email and my business email address is a gmail account so it won't let me go in - any suggestions how I can get around this ?
Thanks

HI TRCP,

Current power bi still not works for personal email account.

What email address can be used with Power BI?
Power BI requires that you use a work, or school, email address to sign up. Power BI does not support email addresses provided by consumer email services or telecommunication providers. This includes outlook.com, hotmail.com, gmail.com and others.
If you try to sign up with a personal email address, you will get a message indicating to use a work or school email address.
Note
Power BI does not support self-service sign-up for .gov or .mil addresses at this time. Please contact your Office 365 admin.
For your scenario, I think you can create a trial tenant.
